Janmanrega 24.0

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) includes provisions for proactive disclosure of information related to the implementation of the MGNREGS. Citizen awareness plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and transparent execution of the scheme, as it is based on principles of participation. The program has shifted its focus from employment to sustainable and productive livelihood support, therefore increasing public engagement is essential.

Janmanrega serves as a tool for information exchange between the ground-level and the citizens, bridging the gap between them and the system. This initiative, called Janmanrega, is aimed at promoting good governance and improving the quality of public services.

The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) launched Janmanrega, a Citizen-centric Mobile Application (CCMA), on June 19th, 2017. Janmanrega was developed through collaboration between MoRD, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), and the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC, Hyderabad). The beta version of this Android application is now available on the Ministry's MGNREGA website. It allows users to locate over 1.78 crore geotagged assets of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) on the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Bhuvan Map Interface, along with their attributes.
